Sometimes you have to give a salute to people with attitude, talent and determination for so many years…...so, in that sense, a salute should go to Sonic Youth. Even now, they still keep creating something fresh, something cool, something young-at-heart music after their formation for 30 years since 1981…….they are still NOWADAYS band that you will still expect something new, cool and contemporary from them (ok, please think about what you will expect from those same-age 80s dinosaur bands!! ‘Best of’ album??!)….
‘Simon Werner A Disparu’ is their new stuff since ‘Eternal’ of 2009 and is a soundtrack for a french high-school background thriller film released under their own SYR label. As a SYR release, it will be easy to think it’s an experimental, free improvisation or extreme guitar noise album with zero-commercial-consideration that we are familiar with their SYR releases previously since the label was formed in 1996…….after putting on the vinyl record on turntable and expecting something going extreme from speakers, but the music come out is something like their big label release with pop and easy accessible nature…..still their cool guitar rock music and this time is all instrumental and to be even more soft, atmospheric and explorative mood like some avant-garde free-jazz stuff…..maybe to match the film’s mood or their future’s music direction, who knows?!! ……..All in all, it is still a cool and enjoyable album though a bit loose and lack of focus (maybe too explorative to get lost!!)
